Black Swan Events (Leadership, Preparedness & Crisis Fiction) with Helen Hynson Vettori (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Helen Hynson Vettori — a former paramedic, DoD medical intelligence officer, and federal pandemic planner turned award-winning novelist — joins me to unpack what true leadership looks like during a crisis.

You Feel: The Two-Word Technique That Calms Any Crisis with Doug Noll (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, former trial lawyer turned peacemaker Doug Noll explains why leaders who rely on logic and rationality during a crisis are fighting basic neuroscience, and teaches a simple two-word technique that calms any nervous system in under two minutes. He backs it up with a remarkable story from his decade working in maximum-security prisons, where the same skill helped a woman serving 25-to-life reconnect with the son she hadn't heard from in 18 years.

Read excerpt
Leadership advisor Stacey Gordon returns to unpack why treating DEI as a separate "initiative" is exactly why so many companies have abandoned it, arguing instead that inclusion should be embedded into every leadership decision rather than bolted on. And why putting people first will give you the profitability and productivity you seek.
